Sugarshack Recipe Question Help Again
Decorating By lolobell Updated 10 Dec 2008 , 3:06am by lolobell
Hi all! What would I do without you guys!
I'm attempting "Sugar-Shacks" Butter-cream recipe tomorrow for the first time and am concerned because I was not able to get the recommended "Sweetex" shortening in time. Is Crisco okay to use????? Will I get a good enough result? If not, do you have any ideas what I can do?
THANK YOU TONS
You'll be fine. Sweetex is a hi-ratio shortening has microemulsifiers that allow a batter to hold more sugar and liquid.. making it more stable. It's ideal for cake recipes that call for more sugar than the f Don't sweat it.. you're icing will turn out fine! 
If you use it in cakes (i prefer butter or oil.. ) but it will give a smoother texture and keep the cake more moist than if you use regular shortening.
HTH!
Crisco works fine. I also use Baker's shortening which I get at Walmart too. It works fine as well.
